3The Bridge to Nowhere
This is a 10-mile hike to the famous Bridge to Nowhere found in the massive San Gabriel Mountains. The trail is generally unshaded, so it’s best to start early and to go when it’s not too hot. This trail is named after a lone span of bridge at the trail’s end.
The bridge, erected in 1936, was meant to connect the area to a local highway. Unfortunately, the highway was washed away by a flood in 1938. Today the bridge remains standing alone. Unlike some other hikes, this hike involves water crossings. Stop at the San Gabriel Canyon Gateway Center for permits, maps, and information on water levels, and trail conditions.
